[dovecot] IMAP folder problem
Hi, I have tried multiple dovecot versions (0.99 and CVS) and I keep getting the same problem.
I connect to the IMAP server fine using outlook xp, but when I try to create folders it creates them and then they just disappear. In the Maildir on the IMAP server the folder are there but they don't show up using a client. I basically can't do anything with folders, including copying outlook folders to the server or create/delete folders. And when I move mail to specific folders using procmail it just gets put back into the inbox again...
I'm using freebsd 4.7-RELEASE
My config file only adds the following lines...
auth = plain auth_methods = plain auth_userinfo = password-file /etc/passwd.imap auth_user = root
My password file (/etc/passwd.imp) only consists of
kev:XXXXXchangedXX[13]:1001:1001::/home/kev::::
I've just created a folder /home/kev/Maildir where dovecot created the MailDir hierarchies.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Kev

Just guessing, but maybe you also have to subscribe to the folders before they show up in Outlook XP? Also make sure you haven't set anything to root folder path.

This sounds more strange. Dovecot at least doesn't move mails by itself. Is it Outlook moving them back?

I know this to be the case with NS7's mail client.
